Werribee needed only two pitchers with the game called off after six innings due to the mercy rule.

Veteran John Curnow went four innings without giving up a run before teenager
Connor Wilson gave up two runs in two innings, gaining valuable experience in the process.

“He’s the crowd favourite, the team favourite and has been for a few years,” said Box of Curnow. “He just keeps getting the job done.”

Werribee will travel to Mulgrave for the fifth round on Saturday, hoping to keep its .500 record intact.

After alternating results in the opening four rounds, the Giants will be looking to string together consecutive victories for the first time this season.

“Hopefully we can get a bit of consistency, especially offensively, and stay up instead of going up and down when we see different quality pitching,” Box said. “They came up from division 3 last year, so we don’t know too much about them. We’ll have to again be on our toes.”
